Microsoft announced over a month ago about this new Office Certifications called Microsoft 365 Apps.
About this new Certification this Specialist is will be focus on 365 based subscriptions instead of 2022 version because the 365 version Office packages will always be up to date than the one-off license.
Anyone just like me who had the previous Certification which was called Office 2019/365 which was based on hybrid because it was based on 2019 now be renamed to Microsoft Office 2019. Basically, remove the word '365'.
Here is the video from Certiport:
Unlike the previous where I need to pass all 7 exams to become the Grand Slam, this one I only need to pass all 6 exams to become the Grand Slam.
The reason there are only 6 to pass to become the Grand Slam is because the Microsoft Board of examinations now only focus on the specific and essential packages. The one package they remove on this exam is Microsoft Access as this is not an essential package to the business users.
The only 6 are Word & Excel Double (Both Associates and Expert). 2 solos PowerPoint and Outlook.
Now let's got to the 2 exhibits of the Certification pathway.
Now let's got to the 2 exhibits of the Certification pathway.
Microsoft Office Specialist Associate (Microsoft 365 Apps)
I looked at my Pathway requirements, since I pass all my Office 2019 exams, I only require passing any 1 exam to become the Associate otherwise I would have to pass 3 of 4 exams to become Associate.
Microsoft Office Specialist Expert (Microsoft 365 Apps)

On my Pathway requirements, since I pass all my Office 2019 exams, Including Associate Certificate I only require passing any 1 Expert exam to become the Expert otherwise I would have to pass both 2 exams to become Expert.
Once the exams are released, I be looking forward to do and pass the exams.
